Rain or shine,
They’ll hold the parade.
For all service people,
Who exceeded the grade.
Those now living,
And, for whom have passed,
Their fight for freedom,
For peace to grasp.
Ugly, horrendous,
Those actions of war.
Yet, brave men and women,
Determined, travelled far.
So, I will thank you,
For your service.
Heavy toll on yourselves,
Fulfilling your purpose.
All of those veterans,
Here on earth, in the grave,
My heart goes out to you,
For the price you paid.
